Indie Editing

So I just wanted to take a moment to vent because this issue truly drives me nuts when it comes to reviewing indie novels. When I read a novel, I am reading the story and trying to enjoy the story line, understand the characters, and try to figure out what will happen. The last thing I care about is how well a novel is edited. Granted, I can see it getting frustrating if the entire book is mainly an error but human error happens!! Editing is not a perfect thing. Even on the most well loved, well known novels, I have found misspellings, missing punctuation, etc. Why is it that people can't just read a story for the story without acting like they are the editing police?
